A semitrailer carrying large bales of hay sits underneath the Canadian National Railway bridge on Main Avenue in downtown De Pere after getting stuck at the underpass, which has a clearance of 14 feet, in the late morning Thursday, Sept. 26. The incident resulted in the closure of that section of Main Avenue for about 21/2 hours.
